Hello,
I am new to this forum and to the RV world so seeking some advice before I jump into something and make an expensive mistake.
My wife and I have been tent camping for a few years now and quite enjoy it, we are looking to take the next step and get into a small travel trailer. We have been looking at some campers and believe the Jayco Jay Flight SLX 175FQ is what we want. We are empty nesters so no need for bunks and we really like the larger shower and N/S bed layout. The big question I have is that I no longer have the truck that my Lariat54 username references so we are looking for a tow vehicle. I had been looking at the Jeep Grand Cherokee or Ford Explorer with their approx 6000Lbs tow rating, then I was just a 2023 Buick Enclave with 35k on it for a great price, it is my fathers car coming off a lease. Its the Avenair model with tow package and a rating of 5000Lbs, with the camper GVWR at 4500 I'm concerned this will be too close to pull reliably.
We typically carry 2 iSUP's and 2 bikes along with standard gear and live in southeast GA so occasionally would be taking trips up into the mountains.
